Bigos is a Polish stew made with cabbage and meat. It will be traditionally slimmered many days before serving.

Since bigos is prepared with meat, there won't be any Vegan Bigos.

Here I have given the recipe for Bigos. It is made with only small amount of added liquid.

This recipe will serve 5 serving.

Required Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
• 1 lb pork, cubed
• 1 lb sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup diced Polish sausage
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 bouillon cube
• 1 lb cabbage, thinly sliced
• 3/4 cup diced bacon
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons instant flour
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup red table wine

Brown pork in the hot bacon drippings.

Place in a kettle and add sauerkraut, sausage, water and boullion cube.

Cover and simmer until the pork is tender (1 to 1 1/2 hours).

In the meantime, add the cabbage to a pot of boiling water, reduce heat, simmer 20 minutes and drain.

Saute the bacon and onion until golden, add the flour mixed with water and stir until smooth.

Stir into the pork- sauerkraut mixture and add the tomato paste, cabbage, mushrooms, salt and pepper.

Simmer for 10 minutes, add wine and serve with steamed potatoes or crusty rye bread.
